Answer:
The new portfolio beta is 1.31 rounded off to two decimal places.
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is a function of the sum of the weighted average betas of the individual stock's that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated using the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
- w is the weightage of each stock in the portfolio
The beta of the portfolio when one stock with a beta of 1 is sold is,
The sum of individual stock betas for 19 stocks is = 20 * 1.31 - 1 * 1 = 25.2
The new portfolio beta when one stock with a beta of 0.97 is added is,
Portfolio beta = (25.2 + 0.97) / 20
Portfolio beta = 1.3085 rounded off to 1.31

Answer:
Option "B" is the correct answer to the following statement.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand determines the flexibility of the volume needed to adjust the price.
The demand of an individual or market becomes inelastic if it will not adjust much to increasing prices, and it is elastic for an individual or market if the demand of a particular commodity will shift a lot as prices shift.
